Great experience- unique hotel - staff was excellent for service and provided great area tourist info. The location is great- in a small town, but parking is inside the hotel boundaries. We really enjoyed the terrace with a great view of the Danube- great place to sip and watch the river boats float by. Breakfast was very good as well- made to order items along with buffet items. Although this is a more expensive hotel, it was worth it.

Gorgeous property and fantastic service by staff hotel, and special shout out to Isabel, who went out of her way to assist. Unfortunately the restaurant's service was lacking. Would definitely return!

Fantastisk placering for ophold i og omkring Dürnstein. Sjove værelser og mulig hed for udsigt over Donau. Skøn restaurant med mulighed for at sidde ude. Meget venligt personale, men serviceniveauet er måske knap på et fem stjernet niveau.

schöne Zimmer mit tollem Blick auf die Donau

eigener Charme als altes Schloß, in diesem Charme sind auch die Zimmer eingerichtet. Schöner Blick auf die Donau von der Terrasse aus. Frühstück ist super. Zimmer mit Klimaanlage was mir wichtig gewesen ist bei hochsommerlichen Temperaturen. Fitnessraum ist ein Witz... Dunkel, stickig muffig....

A beautiful castle to stay......

We enjoyed our stay very much, ,most of the staff are very accommodating, especially Peter from the restaurant and Leona from the Reception. The Schloss is a beautiful castle built on an amazing position, of course it being an old building there are always little problems here and there, but nothing that can spoil such a special locale. It is worth the splurge.
